USC c/o 2019 Applicants Thread (2015-2016) Forum

[Billy Madison]

Just went to decision finalized

Same!

Yep, same here.

Same! Do we know if that means good news?

No idea. Nevertheless, the emotional roller coaster is what I'll be dealing with today.

Ugh not expecting good news here

+1, DF today

I actually wouldn't send an updated resume. I went complete on 1/11/2016 and have a resume change. I called the admissions office yesterday asking if they welcome updates. The lady straight up said "that's not enough to make a decision, we admit tons of applicants who do not work." And she told me not to send any new information...

And here I sit, still at UR1 since 3/7

On the USC Application Complete email back in January, it states
"
ONCE COMPLETED, WE CANNOT ADD DOCUMENTS TO A FILE UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR UPDATE, SUCH AS A NEW JOB POSITION OR INTERNSHIP. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. "

so I'm hoping it doesn't hurt to send an update especially since I have a new job position....

Is there a class of 2019 FB page?

[ohthatjenn]

Has anyone succeed negotiating scholarship? I haven't heard back from most of my schools yet (kill meeee) so I don't really have any good reasons yet.. but if anyone has succeeded, what was your strategy? And how much??

[coffeeaddict1]

DF around noon. Constantly checking my email now... I'm expecting a ding after seeing that previous decisions were emailed out on the day of the status update

You can try, but I also had a new job position (but within the same company) and she wasn't having it...

Yeah, I am going to go ahead and assume that no news is bad news at this point

[Billy Madison]

Yeah, I think we're screwed. Not sure about you folks, but my numbers are a ways below the medians. I was hoping WE and upward trend would give me a shot.

I did, but I had leverage from other schools...PM me if you like!

FWIW, DF usually follows the email within like 5 hours. I'd say if you don't get an email by tomorrow afternoon, you're gonna get the ding via snail mail

Yup. 10:15 AM where I'm at and still no emails. Just waiting for the ding at this point.

Morning everyone,

I know someone earlier asked, and probably more out there not asking, but I talked to Fin Aid yesterday about the acceptance deadline - Mary confirmed that accepting the scholarship does not finalize it. Her exact words were "that is not the purpose of the acceptance requirement"; my assumption is so that the rejected funds can be used for other students.

Hopefully this alleviates some concerns for y'all.

[DwnwitLSACuknome]

complete 1/6 no movement since. Anyone feel bad for me?

[virtus26]

I'm in the same boat, but since 1/12.

Part of me is wondering if they just saw my application, laughed, and threw it in the trash.

[DwnwitLSACuknome]

AHHHH!
